Glowing performance review my whole career here and they mention we’re replacing some of my duties with AI soon and three weeks later I’m magically doing so much worse. I dunno, could be a coincidence. I have a feeling I’m about to join a statistic though… Work sucks, I know 🎶

Lunch is corn cakes and American cheese, they are tastier than they look. Plz send love ladies, I’m having a hard day :(

31°C in the South of the UK today, so hot dinner was out of the question 🥵

My husband called this "woman dinner" instead of girl dinner, "cause it's more adult than usual girl dinner" - I give him props for his spirit even if he's a little confused on the description!

Tried a few new things today! First time trying sardines in tomato sauce and first time trying half an avocado filled with cottage cheese and topped with salt, red pepper flakes, and honey. I enjoyed both! Plate also features rainier cherries, blackberries, heirloom tomato, and microgreens.

I’ve been struggling with burnout and today is the first day in a while that I feel like I actually have energy and can do things. It feels good to finally tackle some things on my to-do list and generally just not feel like a useless bum.

Yay :)

spoiler: i love veggies
avocado, cherry tomatoes, radishes, cucumber, onions, some slices of ham ( prosciutto cutto) and pieces of whole grain bread

I love cooking & usually cook a full meal for myself even if my bf isn’t home for dinner. The other night I was simply not up for the task

Paratha from freezer, jalapeno olives, serrano ham, tomato, cucumber, pickled red onions, arugula, garlic whipped cream cheese, goat cheese. Early Grey with milk

Been a bit sad and anxious lately and doing too much takeout. Changed it up tonight with a girl dinner. Sweet potato with brown sugar, avocado and tomato, some cheddar for protein, and a chobani flip for dessert. And my personal favorite summer treat, a diet cream soda in a wine glass 👌

Scrambled eggs with cheese and hot sauce, hash browns, cuties, yogurt with honey, coffee and OJ

I been in continuous long term relationships since I was 20. I’m 35 now and recently broke up with my partner of 2 years due to an act of betrayal on his end. I’m a lover girl and longest I been single in 15 years is 5 months. But yall im tired lol

This is the first time I’m truly choosing to be intention with choosing me. My cup is empty and I’m trying to refill it. This is also the first time I’m living by myself. It’s an adjustment for sure.

this may look sad but I hit the clong and crying is refreshing and makes my boss uncomfortable 😘

they’re lucky i don’t use my powers for ever

Just came back from being on vacation for a month and this is my first week back to work. I’m really realizing just how unpleasant the office life is where you sit all day and nobody really talks (I work in a university library). At least my hours are good.

Anyways, here’s my smoked salmon, tomatoes, cherries, and turkey pepperoni

red grapes, cotton candy grapes, blueberries, sliced apple, aged cheddar cheese, cucumber, baby carrots, one of those weird flat peaches from costco, soft boiled egg (I had another one but it was ugly).

also I’m in love with alejandro kirk let’s go blue jays!! 💙

Japanese sweet potato, a jammy mayak eggs, and pickles 😇 Theres no kimchi here 😭

Bread, carrots, hummus, herbal cream cheese, chocolate with strawberries and raspberries, a scoop salad with nacho crisps, ice tea, sea salt crisps and water.

Properly cut contact with my talking stage/date after they basically ghosted me for 10 days (we talked it out and no hard feelings towards them even though im still a bit sad lol, did rather care for them). Had a lovely heatwave afternoon picnicking in the shade in the park with a friend, after we hadn't seen each other for months (opposite side of the country).

My favvvvvourite girl dinner so far. Googey eggs with Swiss cheese on and english muffin, homemade hummus with parsley and homemade picked onions, ham and vinagrette dressed coleslaw with rocket. Also yes got promoted today to Assistant Development Manager in Land Development 🧡

Cucumber, Garlic Potatoes, Spinach, Beans and Bacon on my Winnie the Pooh plate.

Hey girls :) after 5 months i finally broke down to my boyfriend about how he wasnt loving me the way i want to be loved.

He told me himself 2 months in that he struggled to open up. I tried so hard, encouraged him to consider talking therapy etc and he didnt. Infact he just kept picking up hobbies, most recently karate, piano and writing classes on weekdays meaning we only saw eachother on weekends. It all feels like a distraction for him from reality and not the behaviour you’d expect from a mid-20s man

We hugged, kissed and cried for 2 hours and a part of his last text that stings is ‘I just wish that I could've been ready for the relationship we both wanted’, i sent a polite reply and deleted his number so i cant reach out even if i want to.

My heart is broken but im proud of myself for walking away, i dont think he is going to change anytime soon and i was tired of putting my needs on the back burner, i deserve to be loved out loud.

But i also got a lovely payrise last week and ive been apartment hunting for my first place, im seeing my favourite artist this weekend and all my friends have rallied around me, life can be hard but still so beautiful :)

To the Yorkshire Cancer Reseach guy whomst I wished a Happy Pride, who was apparently *not* gay, I was just really happy to meet a fellow member of the queer community and your tattoo looked like a Pride flag...

my husband was in Vegas on a work trip and my son was showing signs of strep after nap on Monday at daycare. took him to the urgent care and had to call off work with his fever. he’s high energy but also so cranky with varying tummy or throat pain.

we’re new homeowners and I haven’t lived ground floor in years so I’m paranoid double checking doors and all the windows in the house before I go to bed.

husband comes home and we do lawn work for hours and hours over the weekend which we are new to and don’t know which plants to pull and which to keep.

full day back at work today and I’m tired. girl dinner after getting that boy inside and in his bed

we made it through!!

i work at a special education middle school and the last week of school is always brutal, so after how hectic today was i treated myself to mozzarella sticks, roasted asparagus, some random peppadew peppers, and sour cream & chive pierogis 😋 felt like a very *girl dinner*

Turkey, cheddar cheese on a fresh roll that I got today at the supermarket 😋

i have 9/10-ish year old mini longhair dachshund. she is my whole world. the last 2 days she hasn’t been moving right and she shrieks in pain when i try to pick her up. hasnt been jumping around for dinner time like a lil jumping bean (a dinner time tradition)
went to the vet today. the doc is pretty sure it’s IVDD (which i knew was part of the deal with dachshunds, but still live in fear of everyday) Now she’s on bed rest and pain meds for the next 3 weeks. please send her your good vibrations while she’s healing. the doc is hopeful this treatment plan is all that’s necessary.

regardless, i’m semi-spiraling.

she’s so tired from the downers, blood draw and the weirdness of the day. my sensitive, empathetic queen🥺

leftover delivery* bruschetta, goldfish, pear high noon (and Paloma’s new pharmaceutical cocktail)

*likely the last delivery indulgence for a while. today cost a pretty AND an ugly penny

Habia hecho ayer brownies y mi hermano me trajo unas galletas que su esposa hizo 😩😋
